" Let me tell you, this is an Italian dream! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was inviting and perfect for a date night. I tried the focaccia bread followed by the mushroom risotto which was prepared perfectly. The wine selection was vast, and our sommelier was exceptionally knowledgeable. To end on a sweet note, the Nutella pizza was dessert heaven! Although it was a bit dark near our table, everything else was stellar. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop thinking about the hand-rolled cavatelli I had at Piccolo Buco. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor! The service was top-notch; our waiter knew the menu inside and out and even provided development recommendations that were spot on. The place was buzzing, making it a bit loud, but the energy was great. The only downside was the wait time for a table, which was longer than expected. Still, the food made it worthwhile, and I'm excited for a return visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Piccolo Buco after hearing rave reviews from friends, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The pasta was handmade, and you could taste the freshness in every bite. I opted for the cavatelli with mushrooms and chicken, which was bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly and made great wine recommendations. I think my only critique would be the portion sizes; I could have easily had more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Piccolo Buco is a hidden gem! I was invited to a small family gathering here, and I was blown away by the flavors and presentation of the food. The chef clearly knows what he is doing. The dish of the night was the spaghetti alle vongole, which was perfected with just the right amount of garlic and olive oil. The only thing I can fault is the fact that the dessert took a bit long to arrive, but honestly, it was worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful experience at Piccolo Buco! From the moment we entered, we were greeted warmly, and the atmosphere was charming. The burrata with heirloom tomatoes was delightful, balanced perfectly with fresh basil. I ordered a pizza, and it was probably one of the best I’ve had; the flavor was impeccable, and I was very pleased. Only downside was the noise level, which could detract from intimate conversations. Still, a fab place overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Italian restaurant around! I loved the freshly made pasta and the attention to detail in every plate. The pizza was excellent, especially the spicy sausage variant. The atmosphere was incredible; it felt lively and perfect for gatherings with friends. Service was quick, but be prepared for a little wait during peak hours. Overall, an unforgettable dining experience I plan to repeat frequently. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Piccolo Buco. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner or celebration with friends. I had the classic Margherita pizza and the flavor was outstanding. It was a bit oily for my personal taste, but that is just a minor critique. The dessert was heavenly and I could taste the love the chef put into creating it. I felt like I was back in Italy! Definitely plan to return. " (*Curated Review*)
